Song: Singin' New York Town

Artist: Defeater

Album: Lost Ground

-Lyrics-

My savior, this city,

My comfort, her pity

Or so I hoped.

My heartache, my hard luck,

My war time, my struggle

That no one knows.

In the alleys where I sleep

I beg and beg for the food I eat

All the pain and the hurt

In your gut where it burns

Every man here is just like me.

The wind blowing round the snow

Makes a man freeze straight to the bone

So I drink and drink and I try not to think

Of the people I lost at home

These six strings I'm playing

These songs I'm singing

Keep me alive.

These strangers

That curse me

The hero

They don't see

Just waiting to die

I ain't the man that I used to be

I feel the city as it's crushing me

I am losing ground on these empty streets

New York town has got the best of me

The southern ground where my mamma sleeps

She found death and she found peace

There's an empty grave next to where she lay

That's where I'm supposed to be.

I beg and I plead

For her god to hear me

He's just a coward

Just a thief

I pray and I pray

For him to answer me

I hear nothing

I hear nothing

I beg and I plead

For her god to hear me

I hear nothing

Nothing
